From memory, it was an entry into the OOC development scenario and Tune Group, along with the other business partners, would be creating a community of housing, recreational facilities and businesses on the development with a new QPR stadium complex at the heart of it. A holistic approach was seen as the way to get the LBofH&F on board with support for the stadium and the community created would help to swell the figures at the new stadium for football as well as hosting other events etc. to keep the revenue flowing throughout the year.

Don't know whether I'm whistling in the wind but the club
have not disowned the story and Fernandes made noises in his BBC Hardtalk
interview that OOC was still an ongoing concern.

As I've said before it's the kind of thing that somebody with a business acumen would get
involved with.

My understanding is that while CarGiant have said not on our land. However, the OOC site is a lot bigger than CarGiant's share. Nobody else has ruled out QPR having a stadium as part of the regeneration. The decision when it is taken will be taken by people, bodies and organisations other than a group of used car salesmen.

There are lots of benefits to the community of having a new stadium/ leisure complex as part of the regeneration. So maybe the Linford Christie option is just QPR saying - we have other options, and putting a bit of pressure on the decision makers. Well done to the club for having a plan B, which is not something we have said too often.

If I recall correctly, this development was part of the larger proposal which included the stadium. This part got approved, which is a positive sign, but doesn't guarantee anything. This doesn't include any land owned by cargiant, who will be the stumbling block when it comes to executing the rest of the proposal.

The club owns smallish parcels of land at Old Oak, mainly on the fringes of the regeneration area - the Oaklands development is one of those fringes. Car Giant owns most of the land that will be developed in the first phase of major building there. The Development Corporation that has responsibility for planning the regeneration will publish its master plan for the area next year and will be encouraging Car Giant to apply for outline planning permission for development on the land it owns. The large building development will be going up in about nine years time, alongside the new station which is due to be completed in 2026.
